The latest from our cartoonist Gerry Hummel. With the BC Liberals' popularity in free-fall, according to recent polls, the party's chances of holding onto power in May 2013 are looking grimmer by the day.

In recent weeks British Columbians and concerned media and citizens around the world have been rocked by the revelation that multiple species of wild Pacific salmon are showing signs of being infected by a European stain of the deadly Infectious Salmon Anemia virus. While Canadian regulators and politicians stall, their American counterparts are calling for  emergency testing and swift action to address the potential disaster for wild salmon up and down the West coast.

Check out the latest from our cartoonist and Kitimat resident, Gerry Hummel. The town's council recently hosted a public forum on the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline, which would end its 1,100 km journey from the Alberta Tar Sands at the Port of Kitimat - where supertankers would be loaded with bitumen, en route to Asia and the United States. The elusive Enbridge VP for the project, John Carruthers, was there representing the company - which heard not one iota of positive feedback from the community all evening.

The latest cartoon from Gerry Hummel - referencing the Joint Panel Review for the hugely controversial proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline. Rules defining public participation were recently announced by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and National Energy Board. Despite assurances of multiple avenues for public comment, many First Nations, citizens and conservation groups from the region are expressing their doubts - remaining in steadfast opposition to the project.

Check out the latest from our cartoonist Gerry Hummel. Hydraulic Fracturing, or "fracking" - a relatively new method for extracting natural gas - involves shooting a mixture of highly pressurized water, sand, and unknown chemicals deep underground in order to crack open shale formations to release gas. The value of the resource in BC has been pegged at $750 Billion - and while we're going gangbusters to develop our local industry, concentrated in northeast BC, other jurisdictions throughout the US and Canada are putting the brakes on fracking until we have a better grasp of its ecological and geological consequences, and how to better manage the enormous volumes of water currently being used in the process.

Rafe Mair has been giving his local MP, Federal Tory John Weston, a hard time of late for his praise of Plutonic Power/General Electric's private power projects. The West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky representative allegedly referred to these "run of river" projects as having a relatively small ecological footprint. If it weren't such a serious matter, this assertion would be downright comical. Speaking of comical, here, with his take is our resident cartoonist, Gerry Hummel.

We are pleased to present this new Common Sense Canadian cartoon by Gerry Hummel.

BC Liberal leadership frontrunner Christy Clark - whose possible ties to the Basi-Virk/BC Rail case have been brought to light in recent memos exposed by blogger Alex G. Tsakumis - insists the public is no longer interested in Railgate. But can her bid survive the growing calls for a Public Inquiry into the scandal?
